A day in the field

Recommended Posts

Went out today with my dad and my son who is 4. We went out about 2 oclock to check a trail cam and do a little scouting. What a nice day to be out. We ran into elk everywhere we went. They were out in the field feeding at 2:30, without a care in the world.

 

Best we could count, there were about 15 in the herd.

While we were hiking around the mountain, we ran into this fox. Pretty cool little guy, he hung around long enough for me to snap a picture and then throw 230 grains at him. :lol:

Here are the two best pics I got off of my camera that I had the patience to leave out for 7 whole days before running out in the woods to check it.

Overall, we saw around 26 elk, 1 fox, and 6 deer between the hours of 2 and 5 pm. It was cool for my son to get to see them all, he was really excited.

Nice pics. Did you get the Fox?

 

 

 

Negative on the fox, just scared him away.....we were a mostly concerned because he would not run away from us. He just sat there at about 40 yards and kept looking at us like he wanted to eat us. Just didnt want a rabid fox biting my ankle or chasing me up a tree like a scared school girl. :ph34r:

 

But it sure was a nice day, especially since we were only about 40 minutes from the house.

 

 

 

As for the unit, we were somewhere in 6a. Just so you know Buckhorn, that bull is in your unit. We will hopefully be able to see how he grows over the summer.
